Schönburger, also spelled Schoenburger, or Schonburger is a variety of grape, formally designated Geisenheim 15-114, a crossing developed at Geisenheim Institute for Grape Breeding in Germany, and released in 1979, of Pinot noir x (Chasselas x Muscat Hamburg).[1]
It is grown now in Germany, as well as in England where it is gaining popularity in the early 2000s and is "authorized". It can also be found in British Columbia Canada,[2] and in western Washington state,[3] western Oregon state,[4] USA. A common feature of these areas is a cool climate, often maritime influenced.
This is a reliable early-ripening grape,[5] though is susceptible to powdery mildew.[6]
The wine produced is typically a soft while full and fruity white.
Also planted in Tasmania Australia
